Driving from Touran to Hua Qian Ancient Village in Baohuashan, Jiangsu, is so beautiful!

Tell me about this trip, driving my Grand Touran L to road trip? My friend asked me to go to Baohua Mountain in Jurong, Jiangsu. I lamented that I didn't know this place. I just want to go out and fill in the blanks and meet my old friends. I didn't expect Baohua Mountain to give me such a big shock. There are not many people in the ancient village of Hua Qian, which makes me like it even more. I just want to be quiet for two days.

Hua Qian ancient village? Jurong is a county-level city managed by Zhenjiang City, Jiangsu Province, located between Zhenjiang and Nanjing. I checked the map and found that Baohua Mountain is close to Nanjing, so it is very convenient to fly from Hengyang to Nanjing.

Du Niang searched for "Baohua Mountain" and found that there are many places called Baohua Mountain in China: Baohua Mountain in jurong city, Jiangsu, Baohua Mountain in Ganzhou, Jiangxi, Baohua Mountain in Hengxian, Guangxi, and Baohua Mountain in Tiantai, Zhejiang.

The Jurong Baohua Mountain where I went is only 437.2 meters above sea level. Formerly known as Huashan, it is named after the yellow flowers blooming all over the mountain in midsummer. "Hua" and "Hua" are common in ancient Chinese, so it is also called Huashan. Bao Zhi, a monk in the Southern Liang Dynasty, set up an altar in the mountains to preach Buddha in his later years, making Huashan famous all over the world. After Baozhi's death, it was renamed "Baohua Mountain" in memory of its founder.

There is a branch road to the south of Ningzhen section of G3 12 National Highway. After getting off, there is a parking lot. Take the sightseeing bus past Bao Hua Villa and get off at the square. Using map navigation, it is about an hour's drive from Nanjing, Zhenjiang and Yangzhou, which is very suitable for go on road trip. ? There are broad steps in front of you, and a memorial arch stands at the end, which reads "Enjoy the mountain light as much as you can". The inscription seems to be "imperial title" According to legend, Emperor Qianlong visited Jiangnan six times and reached Baohua Mountain six times. Isn't it the imperial pen of the emperor?

There is a string of copper lanterns hanging in the square, and many people in ancient costumes line up here. It seems that a big drama is about to be staged. It turns out that this is the opening ceremony of the scenic spot every day: "Gan Long Military Parade".

Local officials took the bus, the gate opened, and tourists followed the emperor and queen into the ancient village of Hua Qian, singing and dancing.

Near the Spring Festival, there are many lanterns in the scenic spot, mostly ancient heroes and various legends and stories.

The ancient village of Hua Qian looks very big and well planned, unlike the traditional natural village. I asked, it was really developed in recent years to imitate the ancient villages of Ming and Qing Dynasties. The architectural style is unified as a wooden structure, and the designers are surrounded by mountains and rivers, so the planning feels good.

The ancient villages showed as much as possible the whole life of Li people in the prosperous time of Kanggan 300 years ago. There are tea houses, pubs, butcher shops, snack bars, jewelry stores, incense shops and other shops along the street, as well as functional buildings such as temples, yamen, escort agencies and money houses.

Tourists mixed in the performance team walk through the streets of the ancient village, feeling that they can't tell the difference between today and yesterday.

An old man is boxing at the gate of Baozhi Palace. He ran in and found that it was dedicated to the founder of Longchang Temple in Baohua Mountain. It is said that Baozhi Palace is the prototype of Jigong in folklore. Hua Qian ancient village also designed a "drunken lane" according to the story of Jigong, making it a street in the water bar, with the image of Jigong on the tree at the door.

The ancient village in Hua Qian was formerly Yangliuquan Village. It is said that this name was given by Emperor Qianlong, but where can we find the last appearance of Yangliuquan Village? ? There are many stages in the ancient village, and there are various performances regularly every day, mostly local operas. Even when no one is watching, the actors are performing conscientiously. The greatest advantage of the ancient village is that they have placed a nearby job for the surrounding villagers.

Ancient villages have been displaying the folk culture of China in the Qing Dynasty. Hand-knitting, puppet shows, acrobatic performances and peep shows are all presented here. All kinds of interactions in real life, walking into the deserted street, suddenly met two soldiers in ancient costumes, making people feel as if they had crossed into the Qing Dynasty.
